How much do you know about energy? Think of the answer to this question and then
tell it to your partner:
Do you think that these are sources of energy: an apple, a fire, water? Why?
I think … Do you
agree?
No, I don't. I think...
Now you are going to listen to some information about energy. After listening and
reading the text in Worksheet 1, were you right?
2
Work in pairs. Find the answer on Internet to the first question in your Worksheet 2
What is _(depending on the group)________ energy source?
2º de ESO: Renewable energy
6
3
Work in pairs. Find the answer to the second question in your worksheet 2 on
Internet.
Where does it come from?
Now, locate the countries where your energy source is found or is being produced in
the world map in Worksheet 4. For that you should use the labels provided in
worksheet 2.
ORIGINATED
(energy source)
4
Work in pairs. Find out the advantages and disadvantages of your source of energy
and write them in worksheet 2.
In the end, your group will read them to the class. You should also take notes of the
other groups´ answers to prepare the next activity.

5
Work in groups of four. Talk with your partners to find the answer to the question in
worksheet 3:
What differences are there between the countries which use renewable energies
and those other where these energies are not used so much? Think of their
economy, population, political system, etc.
Which countries
use renewable
energies?
Which countries
depend on fossil
energies?
Their economy is
based on...
Their inhabitants
live mainly in big
cities
You can use the information displayed in the world map that locates the energy
sources, and all the advantages and disadvantages mentioned before in Activity 4.
Finally, your group should write 80 to 100 words summarizing your opinion in
worksheet 3.
All the essays will be displayed and read out in class. The best participants will be
chosen to take part in a round table.
6
One student from each group in Activity 5 will participate in a debate on the topic:
“Renewable or non renewable, that´s the question”
If you are not one of the students in the debate, don´t worry, you will be able to
participate and give your opinion in the final 10 minutes of the round table.

WORKSHEET 1
DEFINITION OF ENERGY
Energy is one of the most fundamental parts of our universe.
We use energy to do work. Energy lights our cities. Energy powers our vehicles, trains, planes and
rockets. Energy warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, gives us pictures on television.
Energy powers machinery in factories and tractors on a farm.
Energy from the sun gives us light during the day. It dries our clothes when they're hanging outside
on a clothes line. It helps plants grow. Energy stored in plants is eaten by animals, giving them
energy. And predator animals eat their prey, which gives the predator animal energy.
Everything we do is connected to energy in one form or another.
Energy is defined as: "the ability to do work."
When we eat, our bodies transform the energy stored in the food into energy to do work. When we
run or walk, we "burn" food energy in our bodies. When we think or read or write, we are also
doing work.
Cars, planes, light bulbs, boats and machinery also transform energy into work.
Work means moving something, lifting something, warming something, lighting something. All
these are a few of the various types of work. But where does energy come from?
There are many sources of energy.The forms of energy we will look at include:
• Biomass Energy - energy from plants
•
•
•
•
•
•
Geothermal Energy
Fossil Fuels - Coal, Oil and Natural Gas
Hydro Power and Ocean Energy
Nuclear Energy
Solar Energy
Wind Energy
